Easter

Easter is coming this weekend, and we have prepared a special Easter edition featuring stories about Easter traditions and information about upcoming Easter events.


As every year, the 2025 GiveBIG fundraiser is coming in May. The Seattle Polish Foundation is using this event to raise funds for two vital causes: a Medical & Emergency Fund for our aging community members, and a much-needed Stage and Floor Remodeling Project at the historic Polish Home.


The Seattle Polish Film Festival is seeking donations to help with venue rentals.


Seattle Polish News is encouraging all our subscribers to help cover the cost of using the Mailchimp service.
